I think some people will do anything to get in the record books, but whereas years ago it used to be “normal” things, anything to do with stuffing poisonous creatures up your nose or any other of these things is just a little too weird don’t you think?

Ok, go for the record to see how many people you can fit in a Mini Cooper or Volkswagen Beetle, but this! If they get stung, there is nobody else to blame…

We should totally set the record for most comments on a blog about world records. Or we could all get together and set a record for most people to all jump at the same time. Or world’s biggest game of red rover. If there’s a record for longest stay with 5000 adult live scorpions, then there’s got to be a red rover record.
